I think of Eccles a bit like Jordan Shipley. Comes to a point when we need better if we want to get to the next level.

I’m happy for him to go. A good squad player If he’s not disgruntled but I hear he is and I think Robins would take him. I think we’ve outgrown him with talent we’ve brought in

Great squad player, reliable , league experience, can play in a few positions , would stupid to get rid of him in my opinion. You would hope working with someone like Lampard, would take his game to the next level

Yes. We're talking about Eccles on this thread though, aren't we?

Not really sure he’s that type of player where as Rudoni is. Eccles has 5 goals in some 130/140 odd appearances.

For those with short memories, it’s worth re-watching last season’s FA Cup Semi Final: in the first half, Eccles skipped between Rashford and Wan Bissaka with a lovely bit of skill / quick feet, to burst into the box.

It’s a good indication of what he can do, but he just doesn’t do with enough consistency. If he works hard, he should be able to address that though.

Earlier in the season, I thought he was about the only player in the side who was performing to standard. I think we would be mad to let such a versatile player go, unless the money was right.

You're allowed to smile whilst being disgruntled I think

I’d fight to keep him for two reasons. Firstly he’s a top notch championship midfielder. Secondly he can cover RB - about the only one who can. Why on earth would we want rid?

A top notch player would surely be starting in our team? Seems Frank has both Torp and Allen ahead of him ability wise. Eccles seems a great lad and I would not begrudge him a move to Stoke etc as he needs to play to reach his potential.

Agreed he is not an attacking midfielder like Rudoni. But he can cover rwb and has not looked out of place when played there before. He’s an intelligent footballer.

Dear Mr King

I noticed today in the training pictures released by CCFC that a lot of the players were smiling. Why are they smiling after losing on Friday?

Disgusted from Warwick.

Early in the season we were absolutely threadbare there. He may currently not be first choice. But he could still be incredibly valuable to us

Eccles is a perfectly capable midfielder at this level and is probably on a favourable (to us) contract, but as the current 6th choice midfielder you would expect him to move on in the summer.

Its all relative. Why micro zoom on to one player when none of them are really good enough. Let's take our top three candidates Rudoni, Wright and MVE.

Rudoni a maybe? Wright and MVE I can see being wanted abroad rather than Premier League. Dovin maybe in 2 or 3 years.

The rest are nowhere near the level Premier League Clubs are looking for.

Let's look at the real whole picture rather than highlight certain individuals.
